Past Workshops

Africa Bitcoin Conference 2025 (December 5)

TABConf 7 (October 14, 2025)

50+ attendees

Swag: 75x pairs of socks, 50x Holocat stickers, 30x Saving Satoshi logo stickers

By the end of the session some folks were still stuck on chapters 1 and 2, but it did look like most people were playing.

Participants were brought onstage to read the lines of Vanderpoole and Holocat.

USC Marshall School of Business (Nik Bhatia's summer course on Bitcoin and AI)

~ 25 students? (CORE-195: BITCOIN & AI: UNLOCKING THE FUTURE OF FINANCE AND TECHNOLOGY) I think they ranged in age from 16 - 18 years old.

Students had their laptops and played along while Stacie shared her screen. While the workshop was remote, universities are well equipped to handle the A/V challenges that this brings. It ended up being very easy to engage with the students because they had a nice camera that could capture the whole classroom.

Having the professor Nik, and the TA facilitate the workshop in person was a huge help. Nik was in a position to call on students which made it fun when it came time to read the dialogue. He also periodically stopped to remind students about related material they had recently covered, even pointing to notes about ASICs that was still on the whiteboard. Stacie was also asked to share career advice with the students which was a fun way to break up some of the content. This was a very dynamic, interactive, and overall enjoyable workshop!

Bitcoin 2025 (Las Vegas, May 29, 2025)

~ 45 participants, handed out socks at the end of the workshop as swag.

Not many people had laptops at this conference so we all played together while Stacie shared her screen.

BitDevs Cotonou

Bitcoin Developer Day (University of Waterloo)

~ 20 participants

This event was done in partnership with Laurier Bitcoin and Waterloo Blockchain.

Matthew guided a group of students through the first 2 chapters and hung out to help people that got stuck on chapter 3.

TABConf (Atlanta)

~50 participants

For this workshop we had roughly 50 participants independently play. Unfortunately we hit some concurrency issues with the backend infrastructure and the repl portion of the game became unavailable. This has since been fixed but follow up load testing has not been conducted.

Main takeaways:

• Have opening remarks

• Have some music queued up to play when nobody is talking
